Monument Records Announces the Signing of Alex Hall Releases First Track “Half Past You”
| Country singer/songwriter Alex Hall has signed with Monument Records and released his first track, “Half Past You,” available everywhere music can be heard today. Born and raised in Gainesville, GA, Hall cut his teeth touring while he was still in High School. Averaging over 125 shows a year before he turned 17, the industry quickly took notice and Hall moved to Nashville to pursue music full time. “Alex Hall’s musicianship, style, songs, and voice blow me away. He’s the total package.” said Monument Co-President Jason Owen. “When he came in to meet with Jason, Katie & I, we offered him the deal on the spot. Working with him in the months since has done nothing but deepen our love and passion for he and his music.” expanded Monument Co-President Shane McAnally. That sound can be heard clearly on his first release off Monument, “Half Past You.” With captivating guitar riffs and clever lyrics, the relatable track, which was written and produced by Hall along with multi-Grammy Award winner Shane McAnally, Pete Good, and AJ Babcock, details how hard it can be to get over a past love. Listen to “Half Past You” HERE Hall is set to open a selection of dates on Tanya Tucker’s While I’m Living Tour. |
| More about Alex Hall: Originally from Gainesville, Georgia Alex Hall is the epitome of what it means to be an artist. After picking up an acoustic guitar at the age of 14, he quickly set to work learning every Elvis Presley song on the King’s ELV1S: 30 No. 1 Hitsalbum – his raw talent earning him his first singing gig at a local restaurant when he was still in middle school. While singing week nights at the restaurant and preforming local shows, Alex captured the attention of a Nashville booking agent, which resulted in about 125 shows a year throughout high school…a feat for any artist, let alone someone still receiving a report card…and a valuable introduction into the country music community. Drawing influence from artists like his hero, Elvis, Keith Urban and Eric Church, along with bona fide rockers like Bruce Springsteen, and John Mayer, Alex has found a way to combine these sounds into his own atomic musical style. Alex is signed to Monument Records, and is currently in the studio recording his first album with multi-Grammy Award winner Shane McAnally, Pete Good and AJ Babcock producing alongside Hall himself. |
